Casts From the Past XXVIII

Casts From the Past is a recurring retrospective of select Palladio GFRG projects.

Once craftsmen were bored by simple lintels, they created a bewildering portfolio of what we now refer to as moulding profiles. Here’s some assistance in knowing what’s what and why: https://palladio.com/moulding-profiles

Most have heard of the mistakes that led to penicillin and the adhesive on Post-Its. But what about plaster being accidentally discovered when gypsum was used in a kiln? That and other plasterific tidbits here: https://palladio.com/the-appeal-of-plaster

If the Hardy Boys had been plaster craftspeople, they may have encountered “The Curse of the Undercut”! For less fiction and more facts about undercuts, visit: https://palladio.com/the-curse-of-the-undercut

For those of you who have requested to see our work after it’s been fully installed, follow this link to see our appearance in the pages of Architectural Digest: https://www.palladiogfrg.com/project-showcase/project-four-l3zw3-cykln .

The first casting fresh out of the mould for a ceiling system that will find its way to our project in New Jersey.
